On a retract move (which are common during "wipe" operations), treat
the move as if it were an extrude only move. It's valid for a retract
move to reverse more filament then it would be practical to push.

It's not necessary to have separate C functions for constant
acceleration and constant velocity as constant velocity can be
obtained by using a constant acceleration of zero.

directly take the velocity and acceleration in millimeters and

The code disables lookahead between two extruding moves with
significantly different extrude ratios. Unfortunately, it was
possible for very tiny moves to show different extrude ratios just due
to how the slicer implements rounding when it produces the gcode.
Allow lookahead to be enabled between moves with extrude ratios that
are different if they don't noticeably produce more or less extrusion.

Be less likely to raise a "Move exceeds maximum extrusion cross
section" error on very short moves. It's okay to extrude a little
extra plastic on moves shorter than the nozzle diameter.

Now that the mcu objects can be created prior to connecting to the
mcu, it is no longer necessary to separate the init and build_config
phases in the high-level code. Move the mcu objection creation from
the build_config phase to the init phase and eliminate the
build_config phase.

Instead of defaulting the pressure advance lookahead time to be the
same as the pressure_advance variable, allow it to be configured.
Default the new config setting (pressure_advance_lookahead_time) to
10ms.
Also, make the setting more accurate if a future move is accelerating
in the middle of the lookahead window.

When calculating the extruder lookahead, determine how far to
lookahead by the amount of elapsed time each move takes. This makes
the extruder lookahead code more flexible as it is no longer limited
to the next immediate cornering moves.

Change the config file so the maximum accel and velocity are specified
in the "printer" section instead of the individual "stepper" sections.
The underlying code limits the velocity and accel of the toolhead
relative to the print object, so it makes sense to configure the
system that was as well.

Create the QueryEndstops in the gcode handler instead of in the

Commits f0cefebf and 8f331f08 changed the way the code determined what
steps to take on fractional steps. Unfortunately, it was possible in
some situations for the C code to round differently from the python
code which could result in warnings and lost steps.
Change the code so that all fractional step handling is done in the C
code. Implementing the step rounding logic in one location avoids any
conflicts.
In order to efficiently handle the step rounding in the C code, the C
code has also been extended to directly send the "set_next_step_dir"
command.

Invert the default meaning of the stepper direction pin. Instead of
treating a low value as position motion, treat a high value as
positive motion. This matches what other firmwares do, and it matches

Due to the lookahead, small changes in the direction of the toolhead
cause minor changes in toolhead velocity. These "cornering" velocity
changes cause the current extruder code to trigger pressure advance
and its associated pressure retract. This causes the extruder to
rapidly "jerk" the filament.
This code change updates the extruder to detect velocity changes due
solely to cornering and avoid pressure advance.

of the filament may not exactly match the next move's start velocity

The existing code calculates the number of steps in a move and then
spreads them out evenly throughout that move. Change the code so that
step timing is based on where the head is commanded to be relative to
the stepper step locations. This makes the timing more accurate - in
particular the stepper velocities will be more accurate during
cornering introduced by the lookahead code. It also results in
slightly smoother stepper motion which results in better step
compression.
